To permit the valve-tube 38 ofthe tire 20. indicates a portion of the telly of a to be readily inserted through the telly, the wheel on which is mounted a plain band 21. latter is provided with a flarlng aperture 5 Mounted on the hand, prefcrahlyat equal of the shape indicatedv by dotted lines 36 distances apart circumterentially. are clips and the rim is provided witha circular ap- 50 22 which are nearly as wide as the band,-and erture $7. The shape of'the aperture 35 1s each is provided with a cylindrical shaped such as to permit of the tube 38 oft-he tire depression '23, as illustrated. The axis ot being easilypassed through it. and to allow fere'ntially of the felly when the rim is rotated relative to the telly in securing the rim to the band.

In placing the rim on the'band after the tire 39 has been secured to the rim, the tube 38 is first guided into the hole sition at each side of the plate '31 when the plateis in the relative position to the rim as shown in Fig. 8. he rim is then shoved over the band to the position indicated in Fig. 8, and moved circumferentially by rotating the eccentric to force the abutments 26 into engagement with the holdin clips 22, after which the nut 30 is screwed up to lockthe parts firmly together. I

y using a plain band and simple fastening means, the cost of construction is materially reduced; moreover the. rim may be removed from either side of the band. Any type of rim for pneumatic or solid tires may be used as well as the clencher type rim for pneumatic tires herein illustrated. The in-' 'vention is also applicable to Wire as well as wooden wheels. V

It will be noted that the holding clip 22 is provided with an extension 22 forming an abutment. This extension is for the urpose of permitting the lugs carried by the rim to abut against it, thus insuring theaccurate mounting of the rim over the band before the eccentric is'operated and serves to guide the abutment into the depressions in the holding clips as will be readily understood.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. A demountable rim comprising a circular hand, holding clips mounted on said band spaced apart circumferentially, a rim having lugs connected to the inner periphery thereof and spaced apart from each other circumferentially corresponding to the distance which said band, and means for into locking engagement with said clips, said means comprising an eccentric, a movable block mounted thereon, and a projection on the rim engaging said block.

2. .A demountable rim comprising a circular hand, holding clips mounted on said band spaced apart circumferentially, a IlIIl having lugs connected to the inner periphery of the felly and this brings the plates 33 and 34 in po- I for holding said eccentric and eccentric in fixed and is adapted to the clips are separated on. forcing said lugs memes recess mounted on said eccentric, and means block in locked mg, surfaces.

3. A demountable rim comprising a-circular band,. clips mounted on-sald"band spaced apart circamferential ly, a rim hear ing lugs connected to the inner periphery thereof and spaced apart from eachother circumferentially tance which the clips are separated onsaid band, means comprising. an eccentric the shaft of which projectsthrough said band, an eccentric plate held in eccentric, a projection on the rim engaged by said plate, and means for locking. said position to said. plate.
